Staff Pick

One of the reasons happy people are special is that they have an unusual answer to the classic question: "Is the glass half full or half empty?" Their answer, which sets them apart from the rest of us, is that the glass is both half empty and half full. Rick Foster's How We Choose to Be Happy helped me realize just how easy it is to change my biochemistry.

OK, look... all you people who are already happy, just skip reading this book. If you're like me and you thought happiness was something only _other_ people had, give this book a shot. It's a quick read, and the ideas, though not new, are simple to implement. Best of all, there are tons of stories about happy people, and that makes me (and you, I hope) feel happy! You can't lose. Really!
